I agree your solution should be in binding, but definitely check out UM anyway, if only for the fail/success callbacks on events. I've ripped off that idea for some in-house stuff (I was in the middle of something less elegant to achieve the same result when I heard about it), and it's incredibly useful. You don't need direct coupling between UI, business, and communication code, and you can keep things as simple and testable as possible.
